How do I improve at go, I’ve truly tried every method I can. I am about 15/16 kyu, yet since I got here I haven’t improved one bit I tried Tsumego way too boring and frustrating, my reading ability sucks so bad, same with my visualisation and I tried tsumego quite a bit the only ones I get are like go problems for beginners volume 2 and I suck so bad with reading and visualisation that I can’t do any problems past 8, I tried memorising pro games for 50 moves, Guess what I memorised it but forgot it after 1 day, my memory sucks, I tried just playing it doesn’t do anything when I am 16 kyu I just get crushed literally every time, I can’t do a proper review to save my life. Even if I find mistakes I just forget it after like 4 minutes, I’ve truly tried everything, How do I improve?

This is of course a difficult question, and there can hardly be a definate answer, but I can relate
I think no matter what way you chose, it is likely that you ARE improving. However the pace can be slower than one would wish, and it is expected that there always comes a time, when our growth as a go players sort of flattens. We cannot all be the best players in the world, especially since go is nothing more than a hobby for most of us.

That said, of course we all want to improve and I guess to improve one needs to find his/her thing after all we all learn differently. If you find tsumego boring, I personally would not do tsumego. If it is a hobby it should be fun. Why ruin it with something that is not fun for you? How much can you really expect to improve by doing something you have no enthusiasm for…

For me personally videos were probably the biggest help. I very much enjoy watching a strong player talk about moves and his/her idea behind them. And that helped me a lot. Reviews by stronger players are very much a similar idea, and probably my second favourite thing. Sadly I do not really do live games lately, but if you are a correspondence player too I would be happy to play a game and try and review it - feel free to send me a challenge. (Damn @Vsotvep you are a step ahead)

‘‘especially since go is nothing more than a hobby for most of us’’, From the way this guy was typing he seems very serious about go, a person who thought of it as a hobby would probably give it up after that or just play games for fun. hes probably aiming for at least 1 dan. and if i am not wrong people on here almost never ever offer to review a game

well, ‘‘1. Play more games and review, including self review. If I can find one or two points to improve for the game I just played, I am happy. This thing takes time.’’, He said he reviews games but forgets the mistakes made in it, The second sentence advice I agree with, except the videos because the people in there just make it walls of text

If it was that easy to improve, it wouldn’t be 50% of the entire playerbase that’s ranked 12k or below.

You improve by precisely doing all the menial chores. Tsumego, lots of them, the right way, every day, for months. Memorizing and replaying games every day for months will lay the foundation for your brain to develop shape intuition. Doing it once won’t do jack.

You don’t get jacked by lifting 100kg once. You start weight training with smaller weights and slowly increase the weight. You do more elaborate exercises while giving it your all. You constantly have to push yourself, otherwise you will stagnate.

You don’t become a great painter by copying some else’s amazing drawing through tracing paper. It takes a lot of dedicated effort. Just like everything else. If you want to get good, work your ass off.
